    		Users are encouraged to take one of the many outdoor webcam images and embed them into three-dimensional space, constructing a scene with up-to-date images.
    	</p>
    	<p class="text">
    		Live3D can also calibrate camera images and infer the camera's location and orientation. So, without leaving your desk, you can approximately geo-locate and geo-orient a camera.

    		<b>Note: </b>A preview release of <a href="/ptz/viewAll"> pan-tilt-zoom</a> camera integration is also available
